Current Activities

       
       The Regional Intergovernmental Council (RIC) serves local governments within the four-county region of Boone, Clay, Kanawha and Putnam Counties. One of 11 regional planning and development councils located within the state of West Virginia, RIC provides an array of services which support economic development, planning and inter-governmental cooperation.

         The mission of RIC is twofold: to provide a mechanism for dealing with planning and development issues on a multi-jurisdictional or regional basis, and to provide a local resource to assist local units of government, especially those which are too small to maintain staffs for grant writing and planning.
